在汽车上。这一路公共汽车里的人特别多,车厢前半部分是成年人,后半部分则挤着十几个小学生,听他们的议论,大概是要到郊区去旅游。小孩子们都很兴奋,叽叽喳喳又说又笑,闹作一团。孩子们的喜悦并没有传染给这些心事重重的成年人,他们有的眼望窗外,有的面无表情,有的甚至用厌恶的眼神斜视着这些沉浸在欢乐里的孩子。汽车平稳地向前行驶着,没有一点出现意外的迹象。但就在这时,司机忽然一个急刹车,嘎的一声,把这些毫无防备的乘客着实晃了一下,你的前胸撞着了我的后背,他的胳膊肘又撞到了你的左脸,有的乘客甚至一屁股坐到了地上。沉闷的车厢一下子沸腾起来。车厢前半部的人在愤怒地指责司机。司机解释说刚才出现了紧急情况,有个骑自行车的行人横穿马路,自己是为了避开那个行人才忽然刹车的。但一些乘客并不原谅他,说自己摔伤了,要到医院去看病,司机必须为自己支付医疗费,司机当然对这种提议嗤之以鼻,于是双方爆发了更大程度的争吵。这时也有的开始把矛头指向那个行人,说应该下去揍这小子一顿,让他记住这次教训。大家你一嘴我一嘴,吵作一团,骂作一团。当时我就在这辆车上。当我的脑袋猛然之间与另一个乘客的脑袋撞在一起的时候,我的第一反应是愤怒,第二反应是想打谁一顿。可是无意之中我发现了车厢后半部分的孩子们,他们从惊恐中恢复过来之后马上哈哈大笑起来,仿佛被一件极可笑的事击中。这个说,哈,你刚才差点没有摔倒,你可真笨!那个说,小明趴到你身上,把鼻涕都蹭到你肩膀上了。这场意外给孩子们带来更多的话题,整个车厢后半部更热闹了。我忽然为自己感到羞愧。我发现,我们这些成年人在遭遇意外时,马上就会把自己设计成受害者的角色,即使对方是无意的。这就是为什么总会有那么多因误会而生的仇视大量地出现在成人中间。而孩子们则不然,他们把很多事情(只要不是危及生命的)只是当成生活中的一个小插曲。从这方面讲,孩子们是我们当之无愧的老师。(易水寒)大道理:宽容是良药,它能化解矛盾,拉近人与人之间的关系。消除怨恨,多一些宽容吧,这样,你会发现你的身边多了很多朋友。
